Jadaliyya’s 10th Anniversary


This month marked ten years since Jadaliyya’s inception. To commemorate this very special milestone, our team hosted a Facebook Live event with sixteen of Jadaliyya’s Co-Editors, titled “Reflections On Ten Years of Jadaliyya,” where they shared their thoughtful reflections on the origins, growth, and goals of Jadaliyya.

We also published a piece titled “Jadaliyya Turns 10,” which gives readers a comprehensive overview of Jadaliyya’s development and its trajectory, from the outbreak of the 2011 Arab uprisings to the present. In this post, pages across Jadaliyya give a retrospective account of their journey over the last 10 years.

Gulf


Nasserism


Reem Abou-El-Fadl speaks with Bassam Haddad. 

September marked fifty years since the death of Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser. His “July Revolution” of 1952 reshaped politics, economy, and cultural life of modern Egypt and profoundly influenced those of the Arab world, and his influence stretched throughout the “post-colonial” world. Nasser's legacies continue to be invoked and contested in contemporary Arab politics, and several Nasserist parties have endeavored to repurpose his political tradition. On this significant anniversary, Jadaliyya's Egypt page published a special series of three articles to critically engage with these legacies. Its editors invite fellow scholars and students of the Nasser era to send in further contributions in the same vein.

      Jadaliyya Co-Editor Noura Erakat Awarded Laureate of the Amnesty International Chair

      Every year, Ghent University awards the Amnesty International Chair to a person who makes a special contribution in the field of human rights. The laureate gives a public lecture at Ghent University and additional guest lectures for students. This year laureate of the Amnesty International Chair is Noura Erakat, a prominent Palestinian lawyer and activist, whose courageous and relentless work as a human rights academic and attorney has reshaped legal and political discussions on the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

      One Year of Horror: Israel’s Genocide in Gaza and Its Percussive Violence Beyond

      It has been one year since 7 October 2023. One full year of watching unfathomable levels of death and destruction of the Palestinian people, particularly in Gaza, as well as that of people in surrounding countries. One year of unceasing shock and horror. To paraphrase Palestinian attorney Lara Elborno, every day has been the worst day.

    • Jadaliyya Co-Editors Statement on “Impossible Solidarity”

      Jadaliyya Co-Editors Statement on “Impossible Solidarity”

      As we announced previously, the article titled “Impossible Solidarity” was taken down when it was discovered that proper in-house editorial procedure had not been followed prior to publication. After a full review that included relevant Page Editors as well as Jadaliyya Co-Editors, the article was removed permanently, and the author was notified. The editors fundamentally disagreed with the article’s placing of settler colonial genocide and authoritarian state repression on equal footing, regardless of what the author’s intentions may have been. The article also included several questionable and/or patently incorrect statements. The consequence of the publication of this piece has been temporarily costly to our mission, regardless of whether readers understand the decentralized and volunteer-based nature of how Jadaliyya operates.
